The power goes out, and everyone's wondering what happened. Ed starts a panic when he blames the blackout on "mole mutants" (a parody of the C.H.U.D.s and The Mole People), and Eddy tries to cash in. Meanwhile, Rolf enlists Kevin in jump-starting the power grid, and Edd overcomes his fear of the unsanitary sewers to conduct his own investigation. / Edd tries to take his morning shower, but blunders into the bathroom to find it is undergoing repair. He desperately tries to borrow a shower from one of his neighbors, but as Edd gets progressively dirtier in his quest to find a place to bathe, he eventually goes off the deep end, which means the more nobody would help Edd, the more dirtier he'd be.
